Idiopathic Spinal Deformities
Conditions
Brief summary
Spinal deformity may not only alter the physical appearance, but may also have a psychological impact on the child, particularly in the adolescent to whom self- image is so important. This study will investigate the effect of muscle energy technique compared to myofacial release in the adolescent with spinal deformities( scoliosis and/ or kyphosis).
Interventions
OTHERmuscle energy technique and myofacial release (physiotherapy techniques)
Each technique will be applied for three month (3 session/week)

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| cobb angle for spinal deformities (scoliosis and/or kyphosis) | immediately before the beginning of the intervention procedures | It is defined as the greatest angle at a particular region of the vertebral column, when measured from the superior endplate of a superior vertebra to the inferior endplate of an inferior vertebra. However, the endplates are generally parallel for each vertebra, so not all sources include usage of a superior versus inferior endplate in the definition. |
